Ma Xiaotao's Modest Growth

To Xu Xingyu's surprise, Ma Xiaotao told him that she wouldn't be going to Dragon Valley this time, but instead wanted to go back and continue her Vermilion Bird Trials.

The previous battle with Qiangu Tianzhang Zhang and Xu Xingyu's reprimand made her realize her shortcomings, so she planned to Wang Dong'er and calm down to focus her time on the God Examination.

At first, Xu Xingyu thought that Ma Xiaotao's decision was due to whether he had scolded her too harshly. However, after Ma Xiaotao explained, he understood her reasoning.

At the same time, I felt a little gratified that Ma Xiaotao had begun to vaguely realize her own shortcomings and was starting to make changes.

Originally, he had no intention of bringing Ma Xiaotao along. One reason was that Dragon Valley itself wasn't particularly helpful to Ma Xiaotao, and another was that he wanted her to focus on the God Examination.

It's important to understand that the Vermilion Bird 'Vermilion Bird test is far more rigorous than that of a certain former Sea God, who focused solely on establishing authority and faith and even forcibly instilled power to boost cultivation levels. It's a God Examination that demands a high level of both strength and mental fortitude.

First of all, there is no so-called increase in Soul Power level during the entire assessment, because such a forced infusion method may cause instability in the foundation in the short term. The biggest example is the former Sea God Tang San. In recent years, Tang San has been planning the Power of Faith and fortune of the Douluo Continent because he discovered this fact.

Therefore, in order to stabilize his cultivation, Tang San chose to absorb a large amount of Power of Faith and fortune from the Douluo Continent, so that he could stabilize his cultivation in the shortest possible time.

The downside is that he himself becomes dependent on these powers of faith and fortune. Once he loses these Power of Faith and fortune, he will not only be reduced to his original form but will also suffer a backlash. Even the Sea God Godhood that he originally elevated to the level of God King will eventually fall to the point where he cannot even hold onto the position of a First-Level God.

At that time, the God Position Douluo Star Lord, who had not yet had his powers Plane Master and the Life Core taken away by Tang Hao and Ah Yin, also realized this.

Therefore, the Star Lord also made its first anti-Tang act, which was to deliberately instigate a collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, and then use the Soul Tool produced by the Sun Moon to suppress the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon.

Of course, when making this choice, the Star Lord didn't expect that this move would be a bit too powerful, causing the Tang Sect to decline at an extremely rapid pace, which caught Tang San's attention. As a result, Tang San, in a fit of anger, seized the power of the Plane Master and the Life Core, and then gave it to his parents.

If Xu Xingyu, the reincarnation of the Starry Dragon Emperor, hadn't come to the Douluo Continent, the Star Lord's fate would probably have been to have all his power taken away by Tang Hao Ah Yin, and then be replaced by them.

Returning to the Vermilion Bird Trials, since this God Examination does not offer the reward of forcibly bestowing Soul Power, most of the cultivation improvements in the Vermilion Bird God Trials are actually part of the assessment itself.

How much a person can gain from this assessment depends mainly on their character and willpower. Each assessment serves as a training exercise while also subtly suggesting ways to cultivate the examinee's character.

If the examiner ignores these prompts and simply focuses on completing the assessment, the likelihood of failing the final, Ninth Trial is very high.

Xu Xingyu was worried about Ma Xiaotao inheriting the Vermilion Bird God Position because she feared that Ma Xiaotao's impetuous and restless nature would prevent her from noticing these hints and ultimately causing her to fail in the Ninth Trial.

It's important to understand that the Vermilion Bird Trials is different from the Fire God Nine Trials that her ancestors undertook. Failure doesn't grant any Second-Level God Position as a participation prize; failure means death.

The reason why the Vermilion Bird God Trials is so harsh is because the Vermilion Bird God's fire attribute is her secondary attribute; her true attribute is the reincarnation attribute.

Therefore, every assessment is more or less related to the concept of reincarnation, which is one of the most powerful laws in this world. Thus, Vermilion Bird must have very high requirements for the character of the successor when selecting one.

However, seeing Ma Xiaotao's current state, Xu Xingyu felt a little relieved. Although her temper was still there, at least she could calm down and think things through now. Even if there were problems with the Vermilion Bird God Trials she was about to face, she should be able to handle them on her own.

The remaining shortcomings can only be addressed by Ma Xiaotao's own understanding during the God Examination; only in this way can Ma Xiaotao truly grow.

After dealing with Ma Xiaotao's matter Xu Xingyu went to the Earth Dragon Sect to check on Xu Yanxue and Bai Xiuxiu's situation in the Earth Dragons' Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

Bai Xiuxiu was doing well. Because of her young age, after absorbing a small portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, she used a special Storage Soul Tool to store several strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. When her cultivation level is high enough, she can actively absorb the energy of those Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Xu Yanxue encountered a problem: after absorbing a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Xu Yanxue fell into Deep Meditation, and it was unclear when it would end.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu could only ask Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, to arrange for some people to keep an eye on Xu Yanxue to prevent her from making any mistakes during her cultivation. Then, she took the existing forces to Dragon Valley, since Gu Yuena had already started urging Xu Xingyu there.

Nan Shuishui dared not refuse, and promised that she would not let Xu Yanxue have any problems. Her only request was that she could bring her daughter, Nan Qiuqiu, on this trip to Dragon Valley.

Xu Xingyu didn't care about this. In the past few days, the Earth Dragon Sect, as a subordinate force of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, had helped a lot. Nan Qiuqiu herself was also quite talented, and her Martial Soul, the Rouge Dragon, was one of the best among Subdragon species. As long as she obtained enough opportunities in Dragon Valley, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would not be unsurpassable.

The only funny thing is that Nan Qiuqiu was also watching the match between Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance near the venue, and thus witnessed the terrifying combat power of Xu Xingyu, who looked even younger than her. This time, she was not as lawless and unreasonable as before, but rather more cautious, as if she knew she was like a kitten that had made a mistake.

After witnessing Xu Xingyu's true strength, she knew the gap between herself and Xu Xingyu was like that between a firefly and the bright moon. In such a completely incomparable situation, it was impossible for her to make such a bold statement about wanting to replace him as the disciple of the Silver Dragon Douluo. That was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of now.
